Ill just meet y'all at the beer distributor. Save a lot of steps and Ill most likely be there anyway searching for the highly coveted Genessee cream ale. 

 

P.S. I know exactly where the beer distributor is. 

I have not had Genessee (or even remembered it exists) since high school. A buddy’s dad and older brothers drank it and would load up on it whenever they had occasion to be out East. I’m talking 20 +/- cases each trip.  We’d “borrow” a case here and there, ditch school and head to the forest preserves to hang out, throw shoes and chase the girls.  I’ll be grabbing a case to bring back home with me for sure.

Just throwing this out there, I don't know the Carlisle judging criteria. If I remember correctly Glen got dinged at a car show for too much stuff in the trunk. Probably more for the road trip members, just thought I'd mention it. Its on my list to empty the trunk before putting on the trailer, I'll leave 1 spare in since this is my cruising trunk 🤣

I panicked. I’m ok now. FYI I had to sit on the ground ( because I couldn’t hold my legs in the air) just to get my infamous slippers in the shot. Oh and yes from one post to the next was the actual time lapse of me moving this ….  

I’m re- high jacking for a second. I got the other storage sorta ready and moved in. Now I know I can get the car to Carlisle. lol. Sorry

Amateur's 🤣 I guess all my years in Florida prepping for hurricanes set my priority list, beer, cash, cigarettes and bullets 🤣 And just to remind Willie, did ya get fuel yet ? 🤣

Yes sir… if/when it’s time to make a fast exit it’s phone, cash, pistols, AR and plenty of ammo.  But I don’t foresee ever having to bail because of a hurricane.  It’ll likely be civil unrest in august with the DNC 🤣😂

Remember, Mark:. “No junk in the trunk”. 

It applies to judging at car shows and… well, you know…

I got hooked on Kronenbourg 1664 when I was in Europe, available in Fl pretty easy but not in Va 🙃 But its X2 the price of my miller lites so only on special occasions 🤘

Just think of the roof of your garage on top of your Monte ........ But after the recent storms here I give up, it's a crap shoot. So I'll stick with my original priority list and let the chips fall where they may 🤣

You need a pair for banana slippers

OH MY, We now are at 8 days and a wake-up in our countdown until the first members of the First Generation Monte Carlo Club start arriving in Carlisle.

So funny, I was looking at mine in the garage tonight, and wondering if my axel straps would get a hit 🤣  They're  clamped and zip tied so I never remove them, but I constantly get mentions when I'm in the lanes. I'll leave a spare in and take the hit 🤣 

[Rob Peters]

So, you may say the number 7 is lucky, and it may very well be.  The number 7 is how many days there are in a week. Even more impressive is that in 7 days and a wake-up our members will start arriving in Carlisle to kick off our 25th Eastern Meet.

[Rob Peters]

In exactly 1 week from today, better yet.... in 6 days and a wake-up our members will start arriving in Carlisle to kick off our 25th Eastern Meet.

Bring it on !!! Looking forward to seeing everyone soon !!!

[DragCat]

Had the Tow Truck serviced today, ready to roll now 🤣

On a side note, talking to my friend at the dealership...........He told me that a local track thats been closed awhile is getting prepped  to reopen next month 🤘I had heard the whispers/rumors but we all know how that goes, but he actually spoke to the parties involved 😁 Beats the 2.5 hour travel time each way I was expecting after Carlisle. Only time will tell 🤞

Carlisle is comng up fast. I'll be flying in to Harrisburg Friday morning. Have to do some errands while Im in town, so I will probably get to the hotel late Friday afternoon. My question is.... can I catch a ride to the fairgrounds with someone Sat morning, and can someone pack an extra chair for me? I don't think I'll be able to fit a chair on the plane. Thanks everyone, looking forward to meeting everyone.

[Rob Peters]

There are usually extra chairs on the show field and at the hotel.  If there isn't an extra, just sit in an empty one.  It won't be a problem. 

rob

[Rob Peters]

There are a mere 5 days and a wake-up until our members are arriving at the club host hotel.  It is getting close, I better finish my engine rebuild, rust repair and interior install.
